The AWEC project comprises installation of up to 600 wind turbines and construction of supporting facilities, a batching plant, service roads, a power collection system, transmission lines (both overhead and underground), electrical switchyards and substations. Construction of CaliforniaвЂ™s wind power site Construction and installation of some 300 turbines are expected to start in 2015 and will generate approximately 830MW. The project will include the installation of up to 600 wind turbines, serving the needs of 257,000 California homes after the completion. Terra-Gen offered $325m to the company for acquiring the project. Terra-Gen took over the Alta project from Australian infrastructure fund Allco Finance Group after the company discontinued its вЂAlta вЂ“ Oak Creek MojaveвЂ™ initiative because of bankruptcy in the early 2000s. The Units X and XI were completed in 2013. Construction of units VI and VIII began in early 2011 and was completed in late 2011, and building of the units VII and IX started in April 2012 and was completed in December 2012. It consisted of units I to V, which were completed in April 2011. The first phase of AWEC began in July 2010. The turbines were installed at altitudes ranging from 3,000ft to 6,000ft above sea level in Tehachapi. Spread across 3,200 acres in the foothills of the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, AWEC is located just two miles from the Tehachapi wind resource area (WRA), which consists of wind farms constructed in the 1970s and 1980s. The purchase agreement was signed in 2006. The project will supply 1,550MW of clean renewable energy to Southern California Edison (SCE) for more than 25 years under a 3,000MW wind power development initiative upon completion. It is owned by Terra-Gen Power, an affiliate of Arclight Capital Partners and Global Infrastructure Partners. Alta Wind Energy Center (AWEC), also known as Mojave Wind Farm, is the second-largest onshore wind energy project in the world.
